this submissive's point of view..

     I am not an expert in the bdsm lifestyle. I can only share what my experiences with Master have been. O/ours is unique unto itself, as each relationship is unique under this vast bdsm umbrella. O/ours, Master and myself is not about physical pain or even the sex.

     Over the years of corresponding with Dom/mes and submissives, I have learned the different aspects of other's relationships that I have not experienced. I have learned enough to understand and accept their activities, even if personally I would not wish to participate in such.

     Power exchange, as well as "respect" and "trust" are "the umbrella", under which all aspects of bdsm play out.

     Please, please be careful and be safe.
